Geany
 Geany is a small and
lightweight Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on
Scintilla.
It
was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, with only a few
dependencies from other packages. Another goal is to be as independent
as possible from desktop environment such as KDE
or GNOME.
Consequently, Geany only requires the GTK2 toolkit, and the GTK2
runtime libraries.
Geany
is one of the more fully-featured editors, as most Linux editors adopt
a more minimalist philosophy. It is similar to Windows editors such as
NoteTab or ConTEXT.
Features include:
- Syntax highlighting
- Code folding
- Code completion
- Auto completion of often used constructs like if, for and
while
- Auto completion of XML and HTML tags
- Call tips
- Many supported filetypes like C, Java, PHP,
HTML, Python,
Perl,
Pascal
- Tag/Symbol lists
